[Feature Request] Support custom cache control

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Talking about rate limiter, it is better to have a customizable cache-control. E.g. I will use longer cache-control for repo card (extra pin). It is also helpful for people trying to avoid rate limiting.

Describe the solution you’d like

Add a parameter &cache_control=<maxage>. But the minimum maxage should retain 1800 to avoid abusement.

Additional context

Shields.IO has parameter ?cacheSeconds= support, and they are using 3600s as default cache-control.

I like @filiptronicek’s suggestion to make the cache longer if the repo card has over 1k stars

I like that idea @filiptronicek, Sound really reasonable. There is no need to update if the value it’s truncated
